Question: Efficient light jets (ELJs) are smaller aircraft that may revolutionize the way people travel by plane. They cost between $1.5 and $3 million, seat 5

Efficient light jets (ELJs) are smaller aircraft that may revolutionize the way people travel by plane. They cost between $1.5 and $3 million, seat 5 to 7 people, and can fly up to 1100 miles at cruising speeds approaching 425 mph. Eclipse Aerospace was founded in 2009, and its sole business is making ELJs. The company invested $500 million (time 0) and began taking orders 2 years later. If the company accepted orders for 2500 planes and received 10% down (in year 2) on planes having an average cost of $1.8 million, what rate of return will the company make over a 10-year planning period? Assume 500 of the planes are delivered each year in years 6 through 10 and that the company's M&O costs average $10 million per year in years 1 through 10.
